So you think you know DESTINY?

Understand­ing the Destiny 2 experience and why this is a must have AAA blockbuste­r game this season.

-

Hooo boy. Where do we start? Destiny 2 is an online, shared-world, rst person action shooter. You play a Guardian, a powerful warrior imbued with the Light of the Traveler, tasked to protect humankind from alien invasion and the Darkness. Only now, the Last City has fallen to the Red Legion led by Dominus Ghaul…

You know what? It’s going to take a while to explain everything, and we’ve only got this one page, so let’s cut to the chase. We’re not even going to make ‘this game is your destiny’ jokes.

IT’S AN EPIC SPACE OPERA

Destiny 2 is the space adventure you’ve been waiting for. Choose between three classes, the heavily-armored Titan, the nimble sharpshoot­ing Hunter, or rain re as a Warlock for the redemption of humankind. Traverse worlds to unlock the secrets of the Guardians, gather humanity’s scattered heroes and liberate the Last City from the evil Ghaul and his Red Legion.

EXPLORE VAST OPEN WORLD MAPS

From Earth to the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, each location in Destiny 2 is rich and vibrant. Instead of mindlessly clicking at menus to access missions, Destiny 2 invites you to take a walk, soak in the scenery, and stop to smell the ionized laser particles. Who knows where you’ll nd your next adventure or exotic loot.

BE THE YOU THAT ONLY YOU CAN BE

Fully customize your Guardian’s looks, apply Shaders to match the mood of the day, mod your gear, and unlock all-new subclasses with powerful skill combinatio­ns to match your playstyle. Destiny 2’s robust class and gear system means you can be the unique flower that you are.

IT’S AN MMO-FPS-ARPG. WHAT?

Destiny 2’s shared-world means you’ll also run into other real players online. You can choose to ignore them and play solo, create a Fireteam of close knit friends for co-op Strike Missions, or throw caution to the wind and join Heroic Public Events and Leviathan Raids with complete strangers like an MMO. Totally your call.

SATISFY YOUR URGE TO TOP LEADERBOAR­DS

Maybe you want to hone your skills. Maybe another Guardian ate your sandwich. Whatever your reasons, head to the Crucible and ask for Lord Shaxx. He’ll sort you out with some PvP 4 vs 4 action. Compete in classic deathmatch and zone control modes, or really cool sounding ones like Iron Banner and Trials of the Nine. Make other Fire teams fear your name, earn epic rewards and eternal respect of your peers.

PLAY ON THE PC

Let’s be frank. You want to play an FPS, you need a mouse and a keyboard. Destiny 2 on the PC supports 4K graphics with uncapped framerates and ultra-wide resolution­s. This means everything mentioned above, is going to look so much more epic on a PC.

Why aren’t you screaming “Take my money!” yet? What else do you want, hugs?
